‘My first cheque for Diary Of A Wimpy Kid was £35k… then last year I earned £15m!’: Author Jeff Kinney on striking it lucky
Following the huge success of his ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’ series, Jeff Kinney could have let success go to his head — but Nick Duerden couldn’t have met a more ordinary guy. This month, the American children’s writer Jeff Kinney published the 10th book in his blockbusting Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. Entitled Old School, it came out simultaneously in more than 90 countries, and within a single week had sold a million copies. With figures like this, Kinney need never have strayed from home and could have simply concentrated on writing the 11th book, but instead he decided to head out on tour to promote it even more. This week it’s the UK, and then he’s on to other sundry European destinations, before heading on to South America.
Diary Of A Wimpy Kid is now a ten-book series. Book 11 is due to go on sale in November. Kinney lives in Plainville, Massachusetts, with his wife Julie, 47, and sons Will, 12, and ten-year-old Grant. My mother was a pre-school teacher and my father was a government worker at the Pentagon. We had a typical American middle-class existence. They worked really hard to get by and taught me the value of a college education by making me pay for half of mine. How much pocket money did you get as a child? I do not think I was ever handed money to spend. I was able to earn a dollar or two dusting furniture and cleaning windows. When I was 15, I worked as a lifeguard and a pool-boy, earning very close to a minimum wage. Those jobs are to be avoided, I think. Have you ever struggled to make ends meet? I wouldn’t say so. I definitely lived pay cheque to pay cheque, though. Diary of A Wimpy Kid became a bestseller right away, but my income from it was incremental. That was a game-changer. It was just enough to allow us to move into a bigger house where my two boys could have their own bedrooms. Of course we thought that cheque might be the end of it. Three years after the book was published the money from it became substantial. No, but it was close. It was right about there. The peak was actually probably two or three years ago, when everything in the Wimpy Kid universe was clicking and I had a movie and a merchandising programme going. It takes me nine months to write a book. Not doing my expenses claims. I was terrible about it even when we were living pay cheque to pay cheque.
